Well, OK, then. I'm outta here, that's for sure.
What kind of dumbass, what-the-f*ck-does-that-mean slogan is this? Where's the connection to Wisconsin? Who DOESN'T live like they mean it? How can you help but not?
"Well, I'm living. But . . . I don't mean it. I mean, I guess I should be dead. Or, that's what I want . . . I think. But, I don't really mean that either. Can I go eat now?"
Sounds like something Jay and Silent Bob would come up with.

We're screwed
If nothing else, one can always turn to the sanity of local government to help buffer things on the national level. After all, we're closer to government and representatives are a bit more vulnerable.
This is where I'm particularly at a loss. Obama is one thing. Here in Wisconsin, we're screwed. This state has lost all perspective on politics and government. At JSonline there's a poll asking people if you think we'll be better off in 4 years . . .
It's 60 to 40 percent NO!!! WTF?!?!
Now, the day isn't over. That could well change. But there's close to 9000 votes on it already. Are you kidding me? What is wrong with people?
The Dems now control everything in this state, and are we going to pay for it.
Taxes. Raised. A lot. All levels, across the board.
School choice. Say good bye.
Government healthcare. Say hello.
Rail initiatives. Say hello.
Paired with national democrats, businesses will be regulated and taxed.
Jobs? Say good bye.
Unemployment. Up. A lot.
The only good news is that Wisconsin democrats will over reach. I'm sure they're slobbering with power right now. They won't know how to contain themselves and will take this state right in to the toilet. I would hope the backlash would be huge.
Congratulations Wisconsin. Hope you're happy.

Yeah, what she said!
Mary over at Freedom Eden makes a great point with one of her posts:
I certainly don't mean to demean the other disasters that have occurred lately, but our situation is seriously huge. I94 west is still closed and will be for some time. Thousands have been affected. If not directly, then indirectly because of businesses where people work have been devastated.
So, what is it, Hollyweird? Is it because we're Wisconsin? We don't matter?
Heck, you can even blame Bush for this if you want!
Hey, Hollywood! Fly-Over Country Needs You!

Elections - the good and bad
The Good:
Of most importance, Scott Walker. It's a bit after ten and his lead has been growing. Clearly the result of the out lying areas coming in later. I was pretty confident Scott would win. Never mind the race issue. Lena was completely unqualified for the job. She is also a tax and spender. Scott Walker is virtually the only guy in Wisconsin politics that fights for the taxpayers. We need him. I'm very happy he won.
It's still a bit too close to call the Supreme Court race although Gableman has a slight lead. Hopefully it holds.
In an amazing twist, Mike McGee looks like he's going to lose his job! He'll go down almost 60 - 40. I hate to make generalizations about people or, in this case, a district, but I'm shocked . . . but happy. It shows there's hope for that area of Milwaukee yet. Particularly in light of the fact that this story made national news. What an embarrassment this would have been for the city had McGee won.
Say goodbye to the Frankenstein veto. It went down by a huge margin. Good riddance. First, just on it's face it's a bad thing as money can be re-distributed that was never brought to the table to discuss. That's just wrong. In Doyle's case, he really raped the budget with his restructuring of words and sentences.
Grant Langley took out wannabe Colon for city attorney. Colon had no business even running for this office.
Another good thing . . . people elsewhere are voting down spending referendums. It's a sign that people are sick of being hosed and taxed, and holding school boards accountable for the money they do have. Elmbrook looks like it may pass, but the others have been voted down.
The Bad:
For me here in Milwaukee, the lack of any real opposition to incumbents on both the Common Council and the County Board. Particularly on the County Board, many ran unopposed or were challenged by virtual unknowns. For me that means 4 more years of Lee Holloway . . . and that's depressing. Additionally, there are a bunch of libs on the County Board and they are the ones that control a good amount of the money that we pay in taxes. I swear, I'm going to mount a campaign next election cycle. Holloway ran unopposed. I really don't think it would have taken much to get him out.
The same applies to the Mayoral race. I know Tom Barrett. He's a nice guy. But he's just wrong on most of the issues facing this city. Again, no real opposition. Too bad.
Update: Gableman's lead is increasing!
Over all, good results. Especially where it counts.
